It’s rather ironic that taxi cabs are my POTD.

This morning I had a meeting at 9 am. This is definitely rush hour in the city, so by 8 I was on the street hailing a cab. The first two cabs didn’t know the location of my meeting and after another ten minutes without success, I started walking to the subway station. At my subway stop I walked, and walked, and walked. Everyone kept giving me different directions to the hotel. I finally took a cab, only to realize my hotel was literally at the end of the block. No complaints though, I made it just in the knick of time.

After my meeting I needed to get to work. I wanted to get there as fast as possible so I opted to take a cab. This time, I saw lots of cabs. Success, right? Wrong. One cabbie (with his meter paused) said 80 RMB to take me home. Are you serious? I told him in Chinese I live here, you’re ripping me off. The next cab was empty and I approached him for a ride. He waved me off and gave me the stink eye, before picking up some Chinese people who ran up after me. To top it off, he then laid on the horn because I was a foot in the street and apparently it’s too much work to drive around. What is with people this morning!?

I gave up and took the subway home, only to find my street lined with cabs. Go figure. Cabbies, this POTD is for you.
